Jonathan Rosenblum: Communal Boundaries and Cancel Culture [Censorship 2/3]

In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we talk to Jonathan Rosenblum - journalist and author of multiple ArtScroll biographies - about censorship and specifically how it applies to biographies.

One of the many areas in which censorship can be exercised is biography writing. Certain biographies of gedolim have been criticized for censoring their life stories to mask their imperfections, distorting history in the process. But censorship isn’t always about distorting the facts and may instead be about cultivating a certain look or feel.

- What is the goal of censoring the biographies of gedolim?
- What impact does it have?
- What are the intended effects of the biographies in the first place?
- What effects would the uncensored versions have?

Tune in to hear a conversation on biographical censorship.
